Cross Browser Testing

With a wide range of web browsers available and end users using different web browsers to access web applications, it has now become crucial to test web applications for browser compatibility. On the various browsers, client components like Javascript, AJAX requests, Applets, Flash, Flex, etc. may behave differently. For multiple browsers you may also have different requirements regarding how requests are actually processed. So just testing your web application on single web browser is not enough. You need to make sure that your web application works fine across diverse browsers and without an explosion of test cases, which would increase maintenance efforts.

Cross browser testing, through which you compare a website's look and performance among different browser versions and platforms, is an important task. This thorough testing helps you to determine whether your website code (HTML, CSS, Javascript, JQuery, etc.) is backwards compatible. MindField’s cross-browser compatibility testing involves testing both the client side and server side behaviour of an application when it is accessed using different web browsers. The goal of cross-browser testing is to make sure that your website or web application behaves correctly while being viewed by a user on more than one browser, on more than one version of said browsers.
